Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

The gameplay on all these games does get to be a bit repetitive. The graphics aren't exactly cutting edge anymore, though the texture work is pretty nice during some cut scenes. But the core of the gameplay loop is just fun. The story is nonsense like always, and there are plenty of ridiculous things to do. If you like the Yakuza series, there's a lot to like here. I've played them all, and this fits right in with the rest. If you want a fun action RPG, this is a great one to play.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii — I'm still in the early hours and already loving it! I came in with a slight bias, since Majima has always been my all-time favorite character since Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 2 — mostly because of how complex, intelligent, cunning, and unhinged yet truly honorable he is. It's a fascinating contrast to the classic boy-scout archetype that Kiryu represents, always morally righteous and clean-handed. Majima is flawed, and that's precisely what makes him feel realistic and genuinely empathetic — a perfect choice as a playable main character, and honestly the main reason I bought this game. The naval combat is a solid 10/10 — not bloated, not overly realistic like Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, just pure chaotic fun. The treasure raids were an absolute blast, and the new locations and characters are deeply engaging. Unfortunately, I have to subtract one star — not for the music, graphics, story, or gameplay, but for SEGA's intentional mistranslations. As someone with a working knowledge of Japanese, I noticed a significant number of deliberate mistranslations throughout, causing much of the dialogue to feel off and disconnected from the source material. After investigating, I found that the official translators were activists infected with the woke mind virus and not genuine fans of the game or Japanese culture, which has already been documented across multiple articles. It's a genuinely unfortunate situation that mars an otherwise excellent experience.

必玩

please i need more majima

The very pinacle of Yakuza! Full of fun and excitment I literally couldn't put the game down! I highly recommend pirate yakuza because of its uplifting storyline and as corny as it is to say, overall theme of friendship. Also its Majima, what's not to love??

Edit: I can't give this a thumbs down... It's a Yakuza game. It's gonna be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I just need to accept it for what it is. I'm on the fence with this one. On one hand, it's crazy and over the top, exactly what you expect from a Yakuza game. However, I haven't laughed once and I'm really disliking having someone's 10y/o son commenting on everything and following me into bars and whorehouses. Majima walking past dudes in gimp suits on all fours like nothing is happening while the kid is all doe-eyed with his pet tiger cub. I dunno, it just feels wrong on so many levels and I have no clue if it'll keep happening.

Game crashes alot.

pretty good
